SUNY TUITION MATCH PROGRAM
SUNY New Paltz participates in the SUNY Tuition Match Program for select undergraduate students who reside outside of New York state.
Students from the following states will receive a State Match award to match the in-state tuition for the flagship campus in the following states:
Students who are also eligible for the State-Line Presidential will receive both awards.
*Please note that students from these states will not receive additional match money as the flagship campus tuition is already higher than our out-of-state tuition.
SUNY MILITARY RATE - YOUR TUITION COULD BE FULLY COVERED
If you are an active-duty service member, member of the National Guard, or member of the Reserves, SUNY now offers undergraduate tuition at or below $250 per credit - the current federal Military Tuition Assistance rate. That means eligible service members using federal Military Tuition Assistance can have their SUNY undergraduate tuition fully covered, subject to federal eligibility and benefit limits.
Ready to get started? Contact the Office of Veteran & Military Services at 845-257-6867 or ovms@newpaltz.edu to learn about the SUNY Military Tuition Rate and how to use your military education benefits.
Federal Military Tuition Assistance funds up to 18 semester credits per fiscal year for a total of $4,500. SUNY students can request federal military tuition assistance and register for courses at their respective military branch student portals: Air Force Virtual Education Center, ArmyIgniteED, and MyNavy Education.
